Lhurgoyfs are a tribe totally unique to Magic, and they have a long and winding history. We’ll begin our journey in the depths of Magic’s Ice Age, and then take you on a weird Odyssey with a cycle of surprisingly competitive bad cards. Then of course we have Tarmo-daddy himself, and his rash of offspring right up through the present day.

Clock Spinning is going bananas this week by talking about--you guessed it--bananas! In this episode we rate, review, and ban-analyze every card in Magic that has bananas in the art, flavor text, and even oracle text. We had an ape-solute blast putting this one together, and we hope you enjoy it too!

We’re back to Kamigawa for Betrayers green. And sure, some of the usual Champions themes are here—snakes, soulshift, heartbreakingly poor rates. But we’ve got some surprises in store: An art conspiracy theory, a surprising amount of lifegain, and some hidden EDH roleplayers.
